La Colonie de Vacances

Booking Required

La Colonie de Vacances gathers members of Electric Electric, Marvin, Pneu and Papier Tigre into a sprawling, 18‑musician ensemble that deploys a quadriphonic sound system placing the audience at the heart of four stages. Rooted in noise-rock experimentation, the collective explores polyrhythms, trance-like grooves and uncanny harmonies, crafting enveloping sonic architectures that shift perspective and intensity. This farewell project channels improvisation and compositional rigor, inviting deep, multi-layered listening and a theatrical collapse of performer–audience boundaries.
